The heart of the continuous aeration system process is the “Mixing Head”. The Mondomix (axial) mixing head is the world standard, and consists of a rotor and stator both fitted with intermeshing pins, which provide, unlike other systems available, constant sheer to the product. This results in better temperature control and controllable bubble size distribution.
A liquid phase and a gas phase merge at the inlet of the mixing head and are homogenized with accurate flow control under controlled pressure.
Infinite control of the variables – mixing action, system pressure, rate of flow and ratio between the liquid and gas phases, temperature etc. – provides for uniform texture, repeatable quality of product and versatility.
Mixing head manufactured with EDM
Spark erosion is a high precision cutting technique to form a pre-programmed shape and is also known as EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining).
The main reason for using EDM manufactured heads is to avoid welding / soldering to the mixing pins.
 Aerator
The advantages of producing mixing head rotors and stators with EDM are obvious:
- the Mondomix mixing head is the only mixing head around which has truly no welds or soldering in the mixing part of the mixing head
- much stronger design as the head is made out of one piece and therefore suitable to be used for more viscous products
- smoother surface and lack of welds provide more hygiene to the entire process
- all mixing heads have, as the current design, 3A certification (proof of highest sanitation degree as required in dairy applications) and are built in accordance with ISO 9001 procedures to ensure constant quality
- improved pin design to achieve even better bubble size distribution
- available in stainless steel AISI 304 or 316
- better clean ability and Cleaning in Place by means of chemicals possible
- acidic products are within reach to be produced with these types of mixing heads
- can be retrofitted to existing machines
- mixing head can be executed with injection ports for the introduction of secondary flows
